The City's Planning Commission met for a second time on Thursday, November 20 to discuss a proposal presented by Crestwood Mental Health to occupy the former Kingsburg Hospital location.
The meeting was a continuation from the November 13 meeting, as the Commission asked for additional clarification regarding the conditions for approval, the variance proposed, and potential additional safety measures that could be put in place to make sure the neighborhood is well protected.
Staff provided new information as requested, and the Commission decided to continue the meeting until December 11 to provide additional time for review of the materials. The next public hearing on the topic will be Thursday, December 11 @ 6pm in the Council Chambers.
For questions regarding the facility, please contact Alex Henderson (897-6528).
